Tag Archives: Nevada Tea Party

Florida was the first state to have a Tea Party political party registered. It has been a controversial move and decried by the tea party groups in Florida. Conservatives know that a third party would take away votes in the November elections and let the Marxists continue their onslaught. Now Nevada has a registered Tea Party political party as well. The candidate who co-registered the group and is running on the ticket in Nevada is very similar to the Floridian Tea Party candidate.

Scott Ashjian is the Nevada candidate. He is a lawyer and owes $200,000 in back taxes. Frederic O’Neal is the Florida candidate and he is a lawyer who owes $155,000 in back taxes. Coincidence? O’Neal is also a former Democrat. There may be nothing nefarious here, but I would not put it past the Progressives to start these political parties and fund the candidates in an effort to take votes away from the Republicans. After a Rasmussen Poll revealed that a Tea Party candidate would beat out both Republicans and Democrats, who would doubt the conniving minds of Progressives?

The Patriot Caucus has run a poll asking if people would like Scott Ashjian to step aside and over 90% say, “Yes.” No tea party organizer will vouch for Ashjian either. The same is true in Florida for the candidate here. Twenty Nevada Tea Party groups have released a public statement as follows:

For Immediate Release: March 10, 2010
From Nevada grassroots and tea party leaders
Subject: Unified Statement / Grassroots Nevada is United

We, the grassroots/tea party leaders of Nevada, speaking for the conservative activists in our communities, are united in issuing the following statement.

• We are united in denouncing the TPN (Tea Party of Nevada).
-o The TPN is not a conservative party who speaks for grassroots and tea party activists in Nevada.
-o The TPN is not now, has never been, and will never be affiliated with grassroots efforts in Nevada.
-o The term “Tea Party Candidate” will no longer be used to indicate grassroots support for a candidate or candidates.
-o The TPN will not be invited to or allowed to represent themselves at conservative grassroots events and functions across Nevada.
• We are united in our desire for fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability from legislators and in legislation from Carson City, NV and Washington, D.C.
• We are united in opposition of progressive leanings towards unfunded mandates as a solution to appeasing special interest and delivering ‘social justice’.
• We are united in the belief that our government should be inspiring pride and accountability, and personal strength and opportunity, not a path for us to follow to have our needs met as the government sees fit.

We, the tea party activists and grassroots organizers in Nevada, are united.
